Main Square

Highlight • Historical Site

In the 15th century, Cardinal Mendoza decided to tear down a canvas of the wall to create a new open space, in front of the Cathedral, where shows and the weekly market were held. In this way, one of the most beautiful Castilian squares, the Plaza Mayor de Sigüenza, is designed.
With a rectangular structure, on one of its sides a porticoed gallery was built to shelter on rainy days, which reaches the Puerta del Toril. Houses for the Cabildo were built on the gallery and are adorned with coats of arms.
To the south rises the Palacio de los Deanes, with a double row of arches and a gallery, converted into the current seat of the Town Hall.

Casa del Doncel de Sigüenza

Highlight • Historical Site

La Casa del Doncel is a beautiful civil Gothic-style building, located in the heart of the medieval city, which began to be built in the 13th century, although there are hardly any remains of its first foundations in the basement. It must have been completely raised between the second half of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth.

Sigüenza Castle

Highlight • Castle

What was originally an Arab citadel, an extension of a small Visigoth castle and a Roman fort, is located at the top of Sigüenza. Construction began in 1123 to serve as a palace-fortress and residence for the bishops who were lords of the city for seven centuries.

It has a beautiful chapel and a cell where some say that Doña Blanca de Borbón, wife repudiated by Pedro I the Cruel, lived until the moment of her exile.
